Žinčica (in Slovak) or Žinčice (in Czech), Żętyca (in Polish)[1] Жентиця (Žentyća) (in Ukrainian), Zyntyca (in Goralic) is a drink made of sheep milk whey similar to kefir consumed mostly in Slovakia and Poland.[2] It is a by-product in the process of making bryndza cheese.[2]

Žinčica is fermented by the following Lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides.[2]

Traditionally, this drink is served in a črpák, a wooden cup with a pastoral scene carved into the handle.[3][4]

Bryndzové halušky is typically served with žinčica.[5]

The origin of the word is the Romanian jîntița, the drink being carried by Vlach shepherds instead of water.[citation needed]
